| This table shows the mean (SD) Safety Climate Survey and Safety Climate Scale scores by discipline. Maximum score is 5, higher scores reflecting a more positive safety climate. Post hoc, managers perceived a more positive safety climate than other disciplines (p<0.001). Sample sizes differed between surveys because all respondents did not complete all items of each survey. Analyses were therefore completed on surveys where respondents completed all items per scale. | ||||
